Instantly strip GPS coordinates, timestamps, camera model and all hidden EXIF metadata before sharing. Your files never leave your browser — no upload, no account, no trace.
Every photo taken on a smartphone embeds precise GPS coordinates into the file — invisible to the naked eye but readable by anyone who receives the image. Here is what is hiding in a typical iPhone or Android photo:
Strips GPS coordinates, camera data, timestamps and all EXIF fields. Runs in your browser.
Every photo taken on a smartphone or DSLR contains a hidden block of metadata called EXIF data. Most people never see it, but it travels with the image file and is readable by anyone who receives the photo.
| EXIF field | What it reveals | Privacy risk |
|---|---|---|
| GPS Latitude/Longitude | Exact location where photo was taken | High — reveals home address, property location, meeting point |
| GPS Altitude | Elevation at time of capture | Medium — combined with lat/long, reveals floor level |
| Date/Time Original | Exact date and time photo was taken | Medium — reveals your schedule and movements |
| Camera Make/Model | Phone or camera manufacturer and model | Low — device identification |
| Camera Serial Number | Unique device identifier | Medium — can link photos to a specific device |
| Lens Data | Lens model, focal length, aperture | Low — equipment inventory |
| Software | App or OS used to take/edit the photo | Low |
| Author/Copyright | If set, your name or organisation | Medium — attribution without permission |
| Thumbnail | Small preview image embedded in JPEG | Medium — may show original unedited image |
Pre-listing property photos taken on smartphones reveal the exact address via GPS coordinates embedded in EXIF. Sharing these files before listing exposes client property location to competitors and potential bad actors.
Photos of patients or medical equipment may embed location data identifying the clinic or hospital. Removing EXIF prevents inadvertent location disclosure in clinical images shared for consultation.
Anyone sharing photos publicly — on social media, in forum posts, or via email — is sharing their location history. Stripping EXIF before posting is a fundamental digital privacy practice.
Photos taken at sensitive locations or events embed GPS data. Journalists and activists routinely strip EXIF metadata from field photos before transmission to protect sources and their own safety.
Case evidence photos, site survey images, and confidential document scans may contain metadata that should not be disclosed in discovery or public filings.
Product photos taken at home reveal your home address via GPS EXIF. The Amazon Photo Compliance Kit strips EXIF as part of a full batch resize-and-ZIP workflow for Seller Central.
